TRANSCRIPTION BELOW

Andrew: Hey, team..down here with Shihan Graham…getting really excited and ready for Roland Osborne coming to town. He’s coming on the 17th of November with some really exciting programs and seminars that he’s going be taking us through. Graham, can you tell us a bit about those?

Graham: We’ve got two sessions that are really designed…one for our juniors and when I say juniors, 10 years old up to about 15, and then we’ve got our senior program that’s 15 years old and above. Now, we’re going to be running these on a Thursday afternoon. It’s gonna go from 5:00 to 6:30, which is an hour and a half, and that’s mainly for the 10 to well, like I said, about the 15-year-old age group…really important that you book in, guys. There’s plenty of details around. Then we’ve got half an hour for photos, bits and pieces, and then obviously the senior session starts at 7:00pm right through until 8:30pm. But what is fight club? What’s Roland coming to town for? Andrew…

Andrew: Well, myself, Shihan Graham, Shihan Phil and even Sensei Briana, have been really working with Roland and a lot of elite martial arts athletes around the world to put together a really great program that basically encompasses many different fighting styles but really helps you hone in on that fighting side of things. Working on your agility, footwork and getting good strikes as well so it’s very exciting.

Graham: Because behind the actual combative skills is a lot of mindset and what not. So, again, fight for what you believe in, there’s that importance on being that role model for society. And, again, for you as an adult to…it’s a great way to…you know, in today’s society…to stand up for what you believe in. So, that’s sort of the Thursday session. For you guys who are listening in and watching on this who are the instructors who’ve done the senior leadership…well, those guys that maybe Sensei Briana may have contacted…we’ve got a Friday morning session from 9:30 a.m. right through to 2:30pm. It’s five hours worth of instructor certification so, if you’re interested…hunt down the instructors, find out…they’ll gladly let you know if you are invited to that. Again, it’s one of those…I wouldn’t say elitist things, but you have to have done the senior leadership or, if you are a junior, you have to speak to your instructors and check its okay for you to jump in with that because we want you to get the most from it. So, two really important days coming up. We’ve got the Thursday and the Friday. Andrew, what are the dates?

Andrew: So, you’ve got the 17th of November which is the Thursday for all the fight club sessions and then of course on the 18th for the Instructor Session but remember, places are limited. If you’re in black belt club you can come to the fight sessions for free. For those guys that aren’t, there’s a small fee for that one as well but very limited places, so I can’t urge you enough to get to reception and get your name down.

Ever since the day we walked into the Dojo, George has been enthusiastic about attending his Ninja Ru class each week. Not only has he made new friends but he has improved in so many areas of his development. His motor skills have become more defined, his balance, his co-ordination are even better but most of all he has developed a crucial discipline and a genuine respect for others.

He brings home all of his new moves which we love watching him demonstrate but he now always wants to help because it’s good to ‘work together’ and do ‘team work’.

George’s instructor Rebecca is one of a kind, full of respect for the children, she explains things to them in a way that they will understand and she gets good feedback from them all, one day, no doubt, she’ll be a fantastic mum running a very tight ship! All of the instructors do a great job and are very patient, because no two children are the same and they deal with them as individuals.

The monthly ‘star grading’ is a very important date in George’s mind, he tries hard at everything he is asked to do and is always encouraged by his peers.

I can’t recommend WAIMA Currambine enough, it’s good fun and fitness for children, great discipline and it is always teaching them very important skills that will stay with them for life and George loves it, he is very proud of his very first Martial Arts uniform.
Keep up the great work…
